About Me

Hi, I'm Lynn Harris. I learned to sew from my mother when I was very young and was encouraged by my grandmother, who always told me that anything I made was the “most beautiful thing” she had ever seen.

I take inspiration from my husband and three amazing children. We live in Michigan where we grow vegetables and raise chickens. I enjoy many kinds of needlework and love to knit, spin, embroider, and browse my collection of vintage children’s books.

This blog is my own and I write all content. Links to Amazon and Sizzix may contain an affiliate code since I belong to their affiliate programs. I am a BERNINA USA ambassador but the machines I use were purchased by me before I became a BERNINA ambassador. I am an ambassador because I love using my BERNINA machines and have been a BERNINA owner since 1989. I do occasionally have fabric and other items sent to me to use and review, if I use them I will fully disclose that. All opinions are mine and I give them honestly. I am not paid by the people who send me things to review.

Mini Stars!

I mentioned earlier that I've been having fun making tiny two inch stars.

So much fun that I whipped out a mini stars mini quilt.

Mini stars should be quilted with mini bubbles, right?I like it. I made it for my friend Lynn, I hope she likes it too.The finished size is 14 inches square.

The queen size version will be set with alternating plain blocks and star blocks set in a ninepatch as seen in the last photo here. I don't think I'll be quilting the queen size quilt with mini bubbles, though. I'll probably get stuck in the quilting decision stage for months on that one.
